MnDOT initiated the project because of deteriorating condition of the bridge deck that carries County Rd. 101/Central Ave. over Hwy 12 in Wayzata. It requires removing and replacing the bridge deck. Hennepin County has added left turn lanes and requested a wider bridge. This will improve safety and improve traffic flow.

Spring 2019

Impacts to Hwy 12 will be minimal and include lane shifts and shoulder closures.

Expect lane and road closures with detours as work is completed. Note: All businesses and residences will remain accessible throughout the project.
